Cuban restaurant now open in the Kingsmill area

It might be the first Cuban restaurant to come to the Williamsburg area.

Centro Havana Cafe has opened up in the Market Place Shops in the Kingsmill area. Owned and operated by Sulee Lugo and her son, Adonis, who came from Cuba and have been living in Richmond, the restaurant features authentic Cuban fare and entertainment.

Lunch items include Cuban-style sandwiches and wraps, and for dessert, there are flans, ice creams, guava shells and a caramelized papaya served with soft white cheese. Beverages includes rich Cuban coffee and mango, passion fruit and guava juices.

The interior is divided into two spaces, a bar bright with murals and a high-ceilinged dining room that doubles as a dance space (there’s salsa dancing on Saturday nights done to Cuban videos, says Adonis).
